Tales are told
And we tell them again
They're falling down through the generations
They're coming down like dominos
Of times
wild and grey
And people looking for a better place for their family
The flags where-a-rising
Cultures torn open
Proud men stood their ground as the ships kept rolling in
The ones to confront it
were make to suffer
Bleedin' for the land that gave them life
We have power and
we have light
We got everything
that we need here
And we're all living free here
We pay the man
and fly his flag
Like the ones
that came before us
Believin' what we are told
People still divided
Moulds left unbroken
The blind lead the ones
that don't wanna know
The truth is left unspoken
The Ones who confront it
are make to suffer
For cheatin' the land that gave them life
This is everyman's tale
a burden on everyman's soul
Carved from each and every
corner of the world
Our story unfolds
As history is told
And we tell them again
They're falling down through the generations
They're coming down like dominos
Of times
wild and grey
And people looking for a better place for their family
The flags where-a-rising
Cultures torn open
Proud men stood their ground as the ships kept rolling in
The ones to confront it
were make to suffer
Bleedin' for the land that gave them life
We have power and
we have light
We got everything
that we need here
And we're all living free here
We pay the man
and fly his flag
Like the ones
that came before us
Believin' what we are told
People still divided
Moulds left unbroken
The blind lead the ones
that don't wanna know
The truth is left unspoken
